NOW the Six Nations is at an end, full focus switches back to the North Wales rugby union scene.
Things remain intriguing in Division One North, with two sides aiming to be crowned champions, while there’s a fierce fight to achieve a top-four finish come the conclusion of the campaign.
One of the clubs well in the mix for a top-four finish are Wrexham, who have five matches of a hugely promising campaign left to play.
Next up is tomorrow’s trip to the coast to tackle Llandudno where fifth-placed Wrexham will be seeking to secure their third victory on the spin.
The last two triumphs have arrived in some style, with a cracking 64-14 outcome against Llangefni being followed by a 127-0 thrashing of basement side Welshpool.
On a perfect day for the Bryn Estyn Road club, Lloyd Roberts and Rhys Davies crossed for five tries apiece, while Jacob Hughes managed to accumulate 37 points.
A tougher time is anticipated at Llandudno, but a 12th win of the campaign will keep alive Wrexham’s aims of achieving a top-four finish.
It’s fair to say Wrexham and Llandudno will become familiar opponents before the season is out and the teams are scheduled to meet again at Bryn Estyn Road on April 11.
As things stand, Wrexham are just two points adrift of fourth-placed Bala, who face a big clash at home to title-chasing Pwllheli.
Second-placed Pwllheli are a sizeable 24 points adrift of top spot, but they do have four games in hand over front-runners Nant Conwy.
Nant will be strong favourites to claim maximum points at home to Welshpool, while Caernarfon, in third, are preparing for the visit of Ruthin.
Bethesda will be assured of safety if they can triumph versus visitors COBRA and Colwyn Bay lose at home to Llangefni.
Teirw Nant Conwy will climb to second in the Division Two North standings if they can gather a bonus point success in their home clash with Abergele this evening.
Tomorrow, the big match is the relegation contest between Dolgellau and Machynlleth while Denbigh host Vale of Clwyd rivals Rhyl & District.
After months of cup action, RGC can switch their focus back to Super Rygbi Cymru League action.
The beaten plate finalists are faced with just their second league encounter of the year tomorrow, with Aberavon the visitors to Colwyn Bay’s Stadiwm Eirias.
With four games left to complete the regular campaign, RGC could do with a fifth win to boost their hopes of climbing out of the bottom five.
Leaders Ebbw Vale are at home to Newport, while there are away days for Llandovery and Cardiff, against Bridgend and Pontypool respectively.
The action started last night when Swansea headed to Carmarthen Quins.
